With great sadness and heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our dear friend Maurine McMillian. Maurine was so instrumental with the creation of the Belen Harvey House Museum. She was also a supporter of the Southwest Model Railroad Museum. Maurine was 98 years old. She will be missed by so many. We are currently working on an exhibit in Maurine's memory. Please click Maurine's photograph for more information. Donations in Maurine's memory are appreciated.

The Great Southwest
Indian Detours was just one of the ways the Fred Harvey Company encouraged the exploration of the Southwest. It also printed postcards and books that showed photos of the Southwest's Native Americans peoples, lands, architecture, and nature. These photos were often hand-pasted into the books, which were sometimes handbound with twine. The photos were novelties in a time unlike today, when not many people had access to cameras or the "perfect photo opportunity."
​
The Belen Harvey House Museum currently has several of these books on exhibit. Flip through one of these new books below or click on one of the photos below it to enlarge it!
